Rumors have been swirling about National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s future at the White House. Long story short, during the administration’s transition period, Flynn spoke to Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and told officials like Vice President Mike Pence that the conversation was simple in nature. They exchanged pleasantries and that was that. There were no policy discussions. However, according to reports, that’s not the case. Flynn allegedly assured the Russian ambassador that the Trump administration would ease the sanctions placed on Russia by the Obama administration.
White House advisers have refused to say if President Trump still has confidence in Flynn.
Perhaps this serves as an indication. Flynn has resigned.
